The benefits of Out of Order (OOO) processing are well known, as is the effectiveness of predicated execution for unpredictable control flow. However, as previous research has dem...
Inductive noise forces microprocessor designers to sacrifice performance in order to ensure correct and reliable operation of their designs. The possibility of wide fluctuations i...
